Cup of Coffee: September 28, 2022

The Yanks and Cards clinch, balk city in Queens, someone's high on their own supply, Tom Hanks' four good movies, and we talk about fascists, diaries, evil law firms, and run a lovely guest post.

Good morning!

Both the Yankees and Cardinals clinched their divisions last night while Atlanta moved into a first place tie with the Mets. The highlight of the night, though, had to be one guy balking three times in a single at-bat.

Elsewhere, I read a story so unhinged yesterday that I had to break it down 2007 blog-style, we learned something about Atlanta starter Bryce Elder’s college years, and a pitcher was awarded $100K for tweeting, to which we can all only tip our caps in admiration.

In Other Stuff, I identify Tom Hanks four good movies — and I’m right about this no matter what the Academy and the critics say — there are folks out there who think the fascists have a point, we are introduced to the Servants of the Damned, we take a look at Alan Rickman’s diary, and we have a guest post from a subscriber that’ll make you realize just how dusty the room in which you are sitting suddenly became.
